We currently have some LAP1242AG AP's meshed together inside our building.The owner (without consulting IT) was able to aquire some LAP1510AG's that he want's to deploy for outdoor use.Can they be meshed into our current network without having to cable one of the 1510's to the network?
View 1 RepliesDid you meet this issues that the remote site (US) AP 1242 always connect to our site(ASIA) WLC 5508 (maybe some DHCP configure caused when troubleshooting, right nowDHCP back to normal. only enable vendor and option 43 for 1262 and 3602, no option 43 for 1242), but now we cannot block these AP1242 to join our site 5508 WLC. even I reset the 1242 AP to default configure from WLC GUI and CLI , but it's still there in a mins.
Since in our site Core SW, Router cannot find these AP mac address, and also those AP not the IP address in the WLC GUI and CLI .
I have some LAP1242 which by mistake were bought for Mesh. I am trying to convert them to LWAPP so what I did first was to convert them to Stand Alone then to LWAPP but I cannot get the AP to join the WLC and sends several error logs.
I attached some logs taken from AP and WLC so that you can figure out what's going on.
I wonder if I have to remove anything from flash either on SA or LWAPP mode (I know that in some cases you have to delete privete-config in order to avoid the AP taken previous configurations). By the way I think I had never seen this c1240-k9w8-mx.124-25e.JA2 on an AP IOS before, I wonder if it has to do with the mesh thing.
I have 2 Air-Lap1242 that wont save their config after reboot. They are managed by a WLC (4404) and it all seems pretty fine and dandy, but when i reboot them, they dont want to save anything.I am setting them up as bridges (mesh), and it works until i reboot them, then I have to do it all over again.Using CLI to type in "write mem" or "copy running-config startup-config" only results in.

A refurbisched WS-C3750G-24WS-S50 that we have send to our client should support 50 LAP (the unit says WS-C3750G-24WS-S50 at the back of the unit). Also the "show version" of the 3750 says WS-C3750G-24WS-S50.
He upgraded the WLC software from 4.0 to 5.0 then to 6.0 and finally upgraded to 7.0 now claims the web-interface only shows 25 supported access-points. We never checked the cli from the WLC before the upgrade.
Also he uploaded a old config file from a other S25 intergated WLC controller .
1) What could be the reason for this issue ?
2) How does the upgrading from 25 to 50 LAP work ? Is it like the PIX/ASA with a license key ?
3) When you upgrade the WLC sofware you only use a piece of universel code like the IOS right ?,can it cause a integrated WLC to loose the support for the 50 LAP ?
4) Can you use a config file from a S25 with out issues ?
5) What part-ID do we need to purchase when we want to upgrade a S25 to a S50 ?
The access point is reply when I ping it from WLC. But until know it can't join, even discovery packet isn't arrive in WLC.

We're upgrading our network (formerly 1 router, 1 outdoor antenna, and 1 router converted to a repeater) to provide wireless coverage for our members at a small beach club. To save money, our usual electrician will be running all the cabling for added antennas and repeaters; the networking guy will then do the terminations and hook up the equipment he's determined will work best for us. I'm supposed to order 1000' of cat 6 cable for the electrician to use, but I didn't realize there were so many options - I need to order the cable asap (i.e. today!), and neither the electrician or network guy are available over the weekend. The cable will be run from our office to our front gate, and to several outbuildings; buried underground for most of the first case, and run along the outside of and through several shed-like wooden structures in the other cases. The longest run will be about 250'. Because of our location the unburied cable would be exposed to salt air, sun, wind and rain, so I'm assuming it'll be run through plastic conduit or something where it needs to be outside.Do I want regular cat 6 or cat 6a? Double PVC shielded, gel-filled flooded, shielded mylar foil, or something I haven't yet run across?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been tasked with providing wireless coverage for an outdoor courtyard. The wireless that bleeds out into the courtyard is minimal for both 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands. I'm thinking a 3502p mounted just inside the wall hooked to a ANT25137NP-R patch antenna mount on an exterior wall. The red line on the wall will represent the antenna mounted on the wall. This will be providing coverage for phones on 5Ghz and general devices on 2.4.

Will it work if I mount the 1262 inside with 4 indoor antennas mounted inside the building and 2 outdoor antennas mounted outside?
I want to set up a wireless video security system around my farm. I have been having a lot of predator problems this year and I am tired of getting up in the middle of the night and running outside in my underwear to check on my livestock (especially now that it is winter) because my wife thought she heard something attacking the animals. I have been looking around at wireless wifi security cameras to use with my home wifi network and all of them ( like the Foscam FI8918W) use IEEE 802.11g standards. I have done a lot of research on this and there is just no consistent data about to do this. I know that are a lot of smart people here because I have posted here before and got some great answers. So, I am just going to tell you what I would like to achieve and you can tell me how (if possible) I can do it. I am willing to buy all new equipment if necessary. I need a omni-directional wifi G network with a minimum range of 400 feet. I have several buildings to cover so it has to be omni-directional. My house is located 350 feet from the furthest building, so I figure a 400 foot range should give me good consistent results. I already have an old Linksys WRT54GS router with Firmware Version: v1.52.8. It is located in my bedroom against an outside wall and even now I get some signal from it out at my farthest building (350 feet) and even browse the web with my laptop. But the signal is spotty and seems to come and go for no reason. What is really funny is that I have less signal in the second bathroom on the other side of the house, but I guess that is because of all the walls in between.
Now I have read that you can increase a routers broadcast strength by modifying the router settings. But you need special firmware like, Tomato, to do that and I have already tried to install , Tomato, to my router with no success. So if modifying the router software is necessary, I will need another router I guess.
1. A good strong router capable of IEEE 802.11g.
2. A good strong outdoor antenna that will connect to the router.
My problem is that I can find good routers and good antennas, but nothing that say they will work with each other. And another thing is that it appears to me from what I have read so far, that the stronger the antenna is, the more narrow the vertical broadcast field is. So, if I understand this right, with a strong antenna, the antenna and the receiving device have to be about the same height horizontally speaking. So if I put the antenna on the top of my house, it will basically shoot right over all my cameras. But if I put the antenna lower along an outside wall, then the cameras on the opposite side of the house won't receive signal. But again, this is just my understanding of what I read so far. You can see now why I am so confused about this. The more I read, the more I get confused. It seem like this should be simple, like, "Buy this router, Buy that antenna". Surly, I am not the first person who wants to extend their home network to a reasonable outdoor range. It's not like I want it to reach miles (that would be nice except for all the hackers trying hack my network).
I want to start implementing a small outdoor mesh network of 3 APs Aironet 1550 in order to grow afterward with more APs. Is there any way to configure those 3 APs in an outdoor mesh configuration (for example, only one RAP and two MAPs) without a Wireless LAN Controller or I have to have at least, one WLC? My idea is to have a WLC 5508, but at the very beginning I don't know if my budget is gonna allow me to cost the WLC.

I was looking at the Aironet 1310 Outdoor access point, but I can't find much information on it. I am looking to see how many SSIDs can be setup, we currently have 2 one private, and one public, this is done with VLANS. I am also looking at finding out about the power injector, it converts to coaxial cable, it has 2 RJ-45 and 2 Coaxial, does this mean if we get 2 access points, then I only need 1 power injector?
which controller I should use with 11 1552E AP ? I know 5508 will work with the AP's, but would the 2504 also work? If 2504 will work, I will go for the 2504 since its a cheaper solution.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a customer with a Cisco ASA 5510 firewall, an inside network containing a Genetec video recording server, and cameras installed on broadband modems throughout the area (each with a public IP). They've recently purchased Axis Q6034-E cameras that use H.264 to stream back to the video recording server. The camera has a view mode where you can watch it through H.264 or Motion JPEG. The view with M-JPEG works, but when I switch to H.264 the video stream is denied. We have allowed RTSP, RTP, and HTTP (it's setup with only http, not 443)traffic from the camera address on the cable company public network but are still being denied the video stream. The recording software requires that the feed come from the H.264 feed, so the motion jpeg does not fix the underlying issue of being able to record.
We know it's the firewall because if we install the camera on the inside network, the video feed in H.264 works to the recorder.
How to enable something special on the firewall to allow traffic through from the device?
Here's the current configuration in our organization (which I believe is incorrect):We have a number of Cisco 1500 series AP's (22 in total), that are mounted outdoors to provide seamless WiFi coverage over a large area. Each AP however has its own physical ethernet connection back to the WLC (All the AP's are marked as Root AP's). They are all broadcasting the same SSID. We have tried to stagger the channel selection but because there are only three non-overlapping channels to choose from, and in some areas the density of AP's is quite high, there is multiple places of channel interference. With this configuration we experience 100-150 disconnects from clients every day. (Our clients are mobile so they move throughout the coverage area constantly).
My idea is to switch the AP's to the same channel thereby forming a wireless mesh, use the built in functionality of the 1500 series to use 802.11a as the backhaul, designate one or two AP's as root AP's and wire them back to the WLC. Thereby forming a WiFi mesh, which if I'm not mistaken is the point of the 1500 series in the first place!
I am however completely new at WiFi networks and wondering if I am simply mistaken in what I believe my proposed changes will enable, or if there is a better way to tackle the WiFi topology.
which controller I should use with 11 1552E AP ? I know 5508 will work with the AP's, but would the 2504 also work? If 2504 will work, I will go for the 2504 since its a cheaper solution.
